Please help me with number 5 it’s been due

Answer 1

The equation is;

y = 1/2x + 7

Explanation:

Here, we want to write in the slope-intercept form, the equation that goes through the two points

The general form of this is;

y = mx + b

where m is slope and b is the y-intercept

we start by calculating the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (8-6)/(2-(-2))

m = 2/4 = 1/2

So we have ;

y = 1/2x + b

To get b, we use any of the two pints

8 = 1/2(2) + b

8 = 1 + b

b = 8-1

b = 7
